STUDENT LEGAL FORUM The Student Legal Forum strives to present for the Law School, the University and the Charlottesville community an opportunity to hear and question the views of recog- nized experts on current matters of national and international interest. Since its incep- tion in 1947, the Forum has presented a variety of speakers who have represented the law, business, labor, politics, international affairs, journalism, and other select fields. The Forum, through the combined efforts of its membership, presented during the 1959-1960 academic year such known leaders as Senator Philip A. Hart, labor leader Walter Reuther, columnist Marquis Childs, Senator Barry Goldwater, and former Presi- dent Harry S. Truman. Senator Hart initiated the year’s program with a speech on his proposed Senate bill to provide for federal regulation of state elections in states where it is determined that the franchise is being abridged. Mr. Reuther visited Charlottesville in February and treated his audience to a colorful address which revealed his views on the growing role of labor in government and politics. Senator Goldwater, who represents views in sharp divergence to those of Mr. Reuther, expounded on his Conservative principles when he addressed the Forum in April. In March, Washington Post columnist Marquis Childs was a particular interest because of his remarks on President Eisenhower's recent world- circling tour. The Forum’s program for the year was highlighted when former President Truman delivered an address on the office of the Presidency. His spicy comments on the contemporary scene made it a memorable evening for all who attended. The Student Legal Forum is comprised of twenty-five members of the second and third year classes, who enjoy the unique opportunity to have dinner and informal dis- cussions with the guest speakers. Faculty support and attendance as guests of the Forum has been traditional. Dean F. D. G. Ribble and Professors Charles O. Gregory and Hardy C. Dillard assist the Forum as advisors. sTiMeNT LEGAL FORTY STWOT LiGiL Ponty ae PEA AG

JOHN BASSETT MOORE SOCIETY | : | First Row: Q. Moyles, P. Moyles, Vinson, Wolfe. Second Row: Newton, Probert, Peters, Faison. Minnix. Third Row: Melnick, Abrams, Corson, Guthery, King, Denny, Shaffer. Founded in 1951 with an express purpose “to promote a comparative study of the law of nations,” the John Bassett Moore Society has sponsored an active program of discussion meetings and guest speakers since its inceptio n. Membership is open to all interested students, both those with specific interests in the field of international law, and those who wish to increase their general learning in this broad field. The Society is named in honor of John Bassett Moore, 1860-1947, distinguished in- ternational lawyer, jurist, statesman, and scholar, who, among his many notable achieve- | ments, represented the United States on the Permanent Court of International Justice. Mr. Moore was an alumnus of the University, receiving his Master of Arts degree in 1880. This year’s program featured talks to the Society by men prominent in several branches of international law. Among the more significant speakers were Sir Frank Kenyon Roberts, Permanent United Kingdom Representative to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; Mr. Arthur Larson, Director of the World Rule of Law Center at Duke University; and Dr. O. P. Bhatnager, Professor of Modern Indian History at Allahbad University in India. The Society is also doing some research for the World Rule of Law Center on the question of the intention of the Framers of the Constitution as to the powers of Con- gress to unilaterally abrogate treaty provisions involving questions of domestic law.
